You warrant and represent that you have full capacity and authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or on behalf of the Company you work for, as applicable. If you don’t agree with any of the terms, you are not permitted to use the Services.

2) Terms and conditions of use

2.1 SV grants to you, subject to these Terms, a limited, non-exclusive right to access and use the Website and the Services to advertise permanent or temporary vacancies by publishing descriptions of permanent or temporary that you seek to fill:

(a) on the Website; and

(b) on to the Workable Job Board (https://jobs.workable.com/) (“Third Party Job Board”).

2.2 You agree that you are solely responsible for any content and the URLs you provide and ensuring that all such information is true, accurate and complete, and provides Candidates with all information required by relevant laws and regulations.

2.3 You hereby authorise SV to publish on your behalf on the Website:

(a) any job listings you have indicated to SV’s administrator; and

(b) re-publish existing job openings you might have already published on another website directly on the SV Job Board.

2.4 You undertake full responsibility for any job opening posted on the Website and for the recruiting decisions you take as a result of any such opening. SV has no responsibility for any employment decisions made by you in regard to any posting on the Website.

2.5 For the purpose of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (“Regulations”), we are not an employment business and do not introduce or supply work-seekers to hirers (or vice versa). This means that we do not:

(a) obtain sufficient information for Employers to select a suitable potential candidate for the position which the Employer seeks to fill;

(b) obtain confirmation of the identify of any potential candidates or that they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorization to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled;

(c) take any steps to ensure the Employer and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the Employer to fulfil the position to be filled;

(e) give any indication to Employers whether potential candidates are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances;

(f) propose potential candidates to Employers or provide any information about them; or

(g) take up any references in relation to a potential candidate.

2.6 The Regulations seek to ensure that potential candidates are only proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified and that recruiters are only offered potential candidates who have the appropriate levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorization for the position to be filled. Since we are only operating a Job Board and do not propose or introduce potential candidates to Employers or vice versa, it is recommended that you fully ensure a potential candidate’s suitability for the role you are advertising on the Site.

2.7 You represent and warrant that your use of the Website and the Services, including the job postings, their content, any communication with the Candidates and the recruitment process shall at all times comply with all applicable laws and legislation.

2.9 You warrant that any such contribution does comply with those standards set out in paragraphs 3.5, 3.6 and any acceptable use policy in effect from time to time, and you are liable to us and indemnify us for any breach of that warranty.
